Wisconsin cornerback Nate Odomes, who had three interceptions in the Badgers' 20-17 opener loss to Hawaii, is defensive player of the week. Baseball Pitcher Mike Krukow of the San Francisco Giants, who was 2-0 with a 1.13 earned-run average, and outfielder Dave Parker of the Cincinnati Reds, who hit .565 with 10 RBIs, were named National League's co-players of the week. Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Bell, who hit .480 with three home runs, and Cleveland Indians first baseman Joe Carter, who hit .433 with three homers, were named the American League's co-players of the week. Miscellaneous World Champion Formula One driver Alain Prost was fined J5.000 Monday for calling Italian Grand Prix officials "idiotic" for delaying their decision to disqualify him from the race. Prost was disqualified from Sunday's race when he took longer than the time allowed to join the race in his spare car after his McLaren stalled on the starting grid.

However, course officials waited until the race was more than half over before flagging him off the course. Greg Adams signed a multi-year contract with the Washington Capitals on Monday. Adams, 26, is coming off the best of his three seasons with the Capitals. As a left wing, Adams scored 18 goals and 38 assists in 78 regular season games during the 1985-86 season. Former Alabama basketball star Eddie Adams, a four-year letterman for the Crimson Tide, died Sunday in an automobile accident in Montgomery.

State troopers said Adams, 25, was killed at 4:22 a.m. when the car he was driving veered off a state highway. Troopers said Adams was thrown out of the vehicle. Quarterback Jim McMahoa will be lost to the Chicago Bears for at least three weeks because of a shoulder injury. McMahon suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 41-31 opening victory over the Cleveland Browns.

"It's a second-degree separation in the right shoulder," said trainer Fred Calto. "He did not dislocate it He will miss about three weeks." Coach Mike Ditka said Mike Tomczak, a second-year quarterback out of Ohio State, will start Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Southern Illinois University-Carbondale's starting quarterback, Kevin Brown, will be sidelined for the rest of the season because of a broken collarbone, coach Ray Dorr said. The sophomore starter from Galveston, was injured in the fourth quarter of the Salukis' 24-17 victory over Austin Peay State when he was tackled from behind and landed on his shoulder. The loss of Brown came two weeks after Southern Illinois lost the services of St.

Louisan Byron Mitchell, last season's leading rusher in the Gateway Conference, who injured his right knee in practice. Central Missouri State punter Scott Taylor and Northwest Missouri University wide receiver Derrick Moore were selected Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association's offensive players of the week. Missouri-Rolla linebacker Brent Arthaud, who had 10 tackles and one interception in Rolla's 38-22 victory over Missouri Western, is defensive player of the week. Taylor punted nine times in Central Missouri's 7-6 win over Nebraska-Omaha. Moore caught eight passes for 106 yards and three touchdowns in Northwest Missouri's 38-28 victory over the University of North Dakota.

Illinois quarterback Shane Lamb was named the Big Ten Conference's offensive player of the week after completing 13 of 24 passes for 223 yards, including a 51 -yard touchdown pass, in a 23- NFL Standings National Conference EASTERN DIVISION Pcf.

"I'm no authority on how much ABC will lose on the NFL this season, but together 4he three networks could lose as roach as 120 million." The main problem, the television people say, is a soft advertising market, which has affected all televised sports. That has prompted the networks to consider making cutbacks.

Dropping a dog-sled race is one thing; dropping "Monday Night Football" is quite another. Cynics say that ABC never will drop "Monday Night Football," that ABC, as well as NBC and CBS, are only poor-mouthing to position themselves for next year's negotiations. Still, Chevrolet, a major sponsor of "Monday Night Football" the last five seasons, announced in June that it no longer would be a sponsor. The automobile company thinks that there are better ways to spend its money, and lesser sponsors are saying the same thing. A 30-second commercial will cost $192,500 this season, based on a.

19 rating. Another problem with "Monday Night Football" developed in, June at the ABC affiliates' meeting in Los Angeles. Affiliates always had been compensated monetarily when their local programming mainly newscasts was pre-empted by a sporting event. But the network, now owned by cost-conscious Capital Cities Communications, said that it was discontinuing the compensation. Many affiliates in turn threatened to drop "Monday Night Football." The network came back and offered the affiliates a five-minute slot at halftime for local news and commercials.

The network itself took another five minutes for national news and commercials, which doesn't leave much time, if any, for highlights from Sunday NFL games. It's a format that surely won't go over with hard-line sports fans, who would prefer seeing football highlights to news. Also different this year are the announcers. Al Michaels will the play-by-play, Frank Gifford the analysis. Michaels is one of the best all-around play-by-play men in the business, but early indications after a couple of exhibition telecasts are that he and Gifford are not a good match.

Both play it fairly straight, probably too straight. Essentially, "Monday Night Football," with Michaels and Gifford, Aas become just another football telecast. It used to be different in the days of Howard Cosell and Don Meredith. For one thing, there were tffree announcers, a format that at times produced a cluttered telecast set "Monday Night Football" aparj. So did Cosell, with his bombastk-tyie, and the offbeat Meredith, singlrfg and bantering with Cosell.

"mJ, The series started in 19C with Keith Jackson, Cosell and Meredith in the booth. The next season, Clifford, hired away from CBS, replaced Jackson. The Gifford-Cosell-Meredith team, for better or worse, was unique. If nothing else, it drew attention. "Monday Night Football" became so popular that it changed -Americans' social habits.

Suddenly, Monday nights were party nights. Business at sports bars flourished on Monday nights. Generally, that is no longer the case. Since the record year of 1981, when "Monday Night Football" averaged a national Nielsen rating3f 21.7, the average rating has dropped to 20.5 in 1982, to 18.1 in '83 and to the low of 16.9 in '84. Why the decline? There has been much speculation bad schedules, the proliferation of cable and the saturation of sports, particularly football, on television.

The 1984 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that opened the college football market meant that viewers could watch games non-stop on Saturdays. After pro football on Sundays, maybe viewers had had enough by Monday night. Cosell, in his book, "I Never Played the Game," offers another reason for the decline his departure before the 1984 season. "I am sure that my absence had a negative effect on the Wlth-out me, the nature of the telecasts was entirely altered.

I had commanded attention. I had palpable impact on the show, giving it a sense-of moment, and now it seemed no different from an ordinary Sunday afternoon telecast. If that sounds like ego, what can I say?

Tudor said he thought his problem was more than just stiffness, but that he felt an obligation to pitch anyway whenever it's his turn. "When you sign a new contract at the level where I am, you expect yourself to be out there," he said. Tudor 6aid he hoped still to start four or five more times and to try to reach 250 innings pitched, even with some discomfort.

"It isn't winter yet," he said. "If I feel OK, I'm going to be out there. My job goes to the end of the season, not now." Cox was pitching on his normal day anyway. "I'm ready to go," he said. "I'm just disappointed that Tuds is hurt.

We're shooting for second place and with him gone, it's a big loss to the team. We've had a lot of key people hurt this year, and this is just another setback." Horton has started just once since April, going seven innings Aug. 14 in a 5-1 victory over the New York Mets. Willie McGee's right hamstring, injured again Sunday, is coming along well enough that Herzog said he might be able to play McGee tonight against Rick Reuschel. Clint Hurdle, who has hit Reuschel well, will be in the lineup at first base.

Herzog believes that newly acquired first baseman Mike Laga might still be bothered by his right wrist, which was broken in May. "He's not hitting the ball in batting practice," said Herzog. "I don't know if we shouldn't just not play him now and have him come to spring training 100 percent." Pirates catcher Tony Pena and Herzog engaged in their customary pregame kidding. "Better get that arm heated up. Better get it rubbed down, because we're going," said Herzog, who began massaging Pena's shoulder.

Pena, asked how he liked Pittsburgh, said, "I like the town fine. But I'm tired of losing. I don't like losing. I'm not a loser."

So I called it in the huddle." It wasn't any more successful the second time, so the Bills kicked the field goal and trailed 14-10 at halftime.

Such was his command, however, that Kelly had less trouble with his head than with his feet. Three times he tripped while trying to pull away from center as he tangled with Kent Hull. When Klecko lined up to Hull's right, the center explained, he would have to step back to his right to seal off the hole. His leg caught Kelly's right leg, and down went the quarterback. Yet, such was Kelly's presence that he climbed to his feet on the third occasion, rolled to his right and threw his thi.d touchdown pass.

"I wasn't going to just lay there," he said. "I said, 'You've got to get up and make the And so he did. From page one said Jets coach Joe Walton. "Our defensive line gets after people pretty well, but it didn't look to me like Kelly was hearing footsteps. The kid made some great plays." The play that impressed Kelly the most occurred on the drive to the final touchdown.

He dropped back to pass, received a hard rush from Gas-tineau and Charles Jackson on the right, spun 360 degrees and, running to his left, passed 28 yards to Jerry Butler for a first down at the Jets' 25. "I usually don't remember many plays," he said, "but that's the one that comes to mind." In fact, he didn't even remember calling a play late in the first half as Buffalo drove to a field goal. His lapse in memory was the result of a hit by Davlin Mullen after a 7-yard gain on a busted play. He threw an incomplete rollout pass into the end zone, then drew a blank when tight end Pete Metzelaars reported from the sideline with the next play. "Same play," Metzelaars told Kelly.

McBride said "three or four others," in addition to the three veterans in minicamp, will be invited to the Steamers veterans' camp, which begins Oct. 15. Until then, the Steamers will hold informal workouts three times a week.

"There's still enough time, that if I'm not happy with the quality of players, we can pick somebody up," McBride said. "You're always looking."

Fair-mount Park, 7 30 p.m. From page one supplants Lloyd, what has really changed? So instead of looking to Lloyd for inspiration, Navratilova says she'll look toward setting records. Face it, it ain't ova till it's ova. As for men's tennis, the gap actually may be growing wider. Becker had the benefit of two rather leisurely draws on his way to his Wimbledon championships.

Losing here to Mecir puts him in a holding pattern at No. 2. Neither did the Swedes distinguish themselves here or at Wimbledon. In fact, with or without McEnroe, there is no apparent American challenge to Lendl. For the second year in a succession he won the U.S.

Open while dropping one set in seven matches. In the 22 sets he won here he lost 60 games. Incidentally, we did learn something about Lendl: that he actually keeps a book on all the matches he plays; he writes it himself. We do not know, however, whether he has a publisher, or whether he has picked someone to play him in the movie version. And finally we know that the Baby Boom in tennis is over.

For the last decade tennis has been dominated by five names: Connors, Borg, McEnroe, Lloyd and Navratilova. Borg is long gone. Connors is gone, even if he is loath to admit it. Lloyd is going; the whispers are getting bolder and louder. And McEnroe is at best AWOL, at worst in a zone of his own.

With him, who really knows? Only Navratilova is still pre-eminent. Within three years, tennis could have the kind of parity they strive for in the NFL. Every week a different winner. If not from Europe, then from South America. The future is almost upon us.
